A video of a forest officer rescuing a cobra has gone viral online. The clip was posted on Twitter by IFS officer Sudha Ramen.

Snakes can be extremely dangerous reptiles and a majority of people are terrified of them. But, for this woman, fear is just a word. In a video that has gone viral online, a female forest officer can be seen bravely rescuing a snake after it was found at a house in Kattakkada in Kerala’s Thiruvananthpuram. The video was shared by IFS officer Sudha Ramen and has over 50k views.

In the now-viral video, the forest officer named Roshini can be seen rescuing a cobra. She picked up the reptile by its tail and grabbed its neck with a hook. The reptile tried to resist for a few seconds but soon slithered into a bag. She then calmly tied the bag and carried the snake away.

“A brave forest staff Roshini, rescues a snake from the human habitations at Kattakada. She is trained at handling snakes. Women force in forest departments across the country is growing in good numbers,” reads the caption of the post.
